Raleigh-Wake HRMA in the Community

Raleigh-Wake HRMA has a proud history of community involvement through initiatives, programs, events and awareness.  Often these initiatives offer opporunities for membership to volunteer their HR expertise through community outreach, to join together to make a difference or to advance the HR profession. 

Listed below are official partnerships where Raleigh-Wake HRMA Board of Directors has a Memorandum of Understanding on file.  

   N.C. Center for Nonprofits

The Human Resources Assistance Program is a partnership between Raleigh-Wake Human Resources Association and the N.C. Center for Nonprofits. This new program works through the Center’s Board and Staff Helpline for nonprofits. Center staff will screen human resources questions and, when appropriate, contact you to see if you can take a call from a Center Member. If you agree, then Center staff will pass along your contact information to the caller. Most of these questions will take only a few minutes and you’re not asked to spend more than an hour with the nonprofit caller.

Questions? Contact Geia Williams gwilliams@ncnonprofits.org at the Center (919-790-1555), ext. 144 or Sign up online at http://www.ncnonprofits.org/hrapinfoform.asp.
